20091227:This game leans towards luck. Because once you set yourself into a position of being one away from the house, you wait for all the other players to roll a roll that they must do to their pieces. However, knowing this, it's best to have your pieces in a position that's restrictive enough to have power over the house. You can't do anything about swap. Aim you can avoid only if you have one stack. Dig you can avoid if your pieces are standing up. Tip you can avoid if all your pieces are lying down. Hop you can avoid if all your pieces are lying down. Wild is the best. As such, pieces lying down is slightly better than pieces standing up, as a preventive strategy in games with four players. Perhaps three players. With two players, it's easy just to focus on winning.

20091228:Today we did Treehouse, Agricola, food break, Card Scattergories, and last but not least, Ra.

20100104:To emphasize how luck oriented this is, Kevin had a 50-50 chance to victory and didn't achieve it. Josh later had a 50-50 chance to victory and didn't achieve it. I had a 1 in 3 chance to victory and lucked out. It's a short fun game. Though we were thinking of ways to improve it... I got it... perhaps make it live in a 3x3. ::shrug::
